Chapter 2 2

Now, back to Aurora. Maybe she'd be a fun fuck after all. No one disrespects me the way she has. I'd like nothing more than to break her in the bedroom. Show her who the boss is, who's in control, have her begging me for mercy. A sadistic smirk spread across my face as images of breaking her possessed my mind.

"Ummm....am I interrupting something?" Aurora asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

My head snapped up breaking my thoughts. Aurora was looking at me with a smartass grin. "Are you like a crazy killer or something?"

"Why yes, yes I am." I answered back in a deep, mysterious voice.

She rolled her eyes. "No you're not." She stated.

"How do you know"? I asked arching one brow in question.

"Well for starters you're too clean." She said taking her blue eye's up and down my clean, tailored suit.

"Well then Aurora, tell me how a killer looks?" I asked with a hint of annoyed amusement.

"Oh you know, crazy eyes, sweaty, pot marked face." She said all the while popping her gum in annoyance.

"Thanks Aurora! I'll know how to spot one for sure " I said with sarcasm.

She turned and handed me a bottle water."Your sense of humor seems a bit dry. You should hydrate". Her voice said flatly.

"Oh geez, now I can't kill you because you showed me kindness." My voice snarky and irritable.

Aurora gave me her smartass grin and flicked me off. This bitch is fearless. If this happened back home I'd choke a bitch. Only reason I'm keeping my shit together is I need to lay low while here and I need this ride. Yet there was something pulling me toward her, something I wasn't sure how to describe. My ability to read people usually was very sharp but with her... with her it was running in all directions like a squirrel crossing a busy street. Part of me wanted to hurt her, possibly kill her just to show her who and what she was dealing with. But her attitude was no fault of her own. She was from a small southern town and naive to the dangers and darkness of the world.

"So where you from?"Lucia asked Retrieving me from my current thoughts.

"Chicago." I replied in a bored tone.

"Why are you here?"

Jesus, what's up with all the questions? I was here to swindle land and lay low. Not divulge my life history

"Business." I grunted wanting to be off the topic of me.

"So you're Italian? "

"That would be correct." And the questions keep coming.

Aurora twisted her body around in the seat and scoped me out over her cheap shades. In a low, mysterious voice she asked. "Is it true what they say about Italians?"

Stretching my long legs out in the cramped jeep, I looked this problematic chic in the eye's without any emotion on my face. Using my deep, accented voice I rumbled. "Depends what you're asking. I've heard many thing's about us Italians".

However this didn't rattle her a bit. If anything it piqued her interest more. "They Say that Chicago is covered with Italian mobsters? Is that why you are here? Are you running or something? Are you a gang banger?" She asked with a slight chuckle.

My nerves begin to twitch at how close to the truth she was. My hand rested on my concealed gun underneath my jacket as I tossed the idea of killing her right now around but I decided to wait. Now wasn't a good time. Before I bid them goodbye tonight I would end her... both of them. Yes, I may roll around with her in bed first but her death certificate had just been signed. Aurora knew too much now, she knew my name and my face. If something were to awary while in this one horse town she could identify me. Kill them and problem solved. Gasping, I feigned a surprise look on my face. "You've got me. You figured me out. Now I must kill you"

The fearless wench snorted and blasted me. "You're so full of shit. For one if you were apart of the mafia you wouldn't have gave us a real name much less be broke down in the middle of nowhere. Besides I'll have you know that if you even attempted to try and harm me I would smile as I cut your nut sack off".

For the first time ever I was rendered speechless. Never had anyone been so bold with me, so disrespectful and fearless. I chalk her attitude up to simply not knowing any better but one thing is for sure... I can't wait to hear her scream as I watch her wild spirit leave her body.

We finally came to a peanut sized town. We pulled into a dirt parking lot. One side had a dingy looking motel made of concrete, the other a tin shack of sorts with a blareing neon sign reading "Angry Rooster".

"What the fuck, just what the fuck." I groaned in disbelief.

Lucia laughed. "Sorry, but it's about all the town offers. Aurora and I was going to grab a bite to eat at the Angry Rooster. Why don't you join us."

"Fuck no." I spat as I wondered what new hell awaited me.

"Well it's your only chance for food. Now, get you a room and we'll wait." Aurora insisted.

Seeming that i had no other choice if I wanted to eat, I took their unwanted advice.Twenty minutes later I came out freshly showered and changed. I walked back to the jeep and the waiting girls. "Shall we" Lucia asked.

"Lead the way". I mumbled grudgingly.

Aurora hopped out of the jeep and it was the first time I got a good look at her. Hot was a understatement. Long wavy blonde lockes, curvy in a good way. Not like these rail skinny model types I'm use to. She had it all in the right places. Her head barely came to my chest on my 6'4 frame. So little to have so much mouth. It was hard not to like what I saw and I thought what a pitty to waste such a beauty.

As we neared the bar the smell of smoke and stale beer permeated the air. The twain of country music blared, boots and cowboy hat's as far as the eye could see. What the fuck have I gotten into.

Once inside a drunk crashed into Aurora almost sending her down. Quickly I grabbed her by the waist and held her steady against me. I bent down and whispered in her ear "I should've let you fall."

She craned her face up to me with those challenging eyes and smiled sweetly "But you didn't."

Watching those words come from her pouty lips sent a zip through my body that I was unfamiliar with. Quickly I removed my arm from her waist and stepped back. "Don't be getting no feelings Lucado" I told myself.

This little twit of a girl proved to be more dangerous by the minute.
